[QUOTE="Dave Hamilton, post: 25249, member: 6118"] I need some advice, or in this case, I need your opinions. I’m going to Guatemala soon. We have hosted two young ladies at our home as exchange students and this is an opportunity for my daughter to go to their schools for a couple days, and to visit two wonderful people that have become members of our family. While in Guatemala we will be staying 6 days in Guatemala City, but then leaving to travel the country in a rented car. One of the two girls is coming with us so that we have someone who speaks fluent Spanish. We will be visiting many places at which I’ll be able to shoot both beautiful and historical cities and sites. I have been reading about how bad the crime is in Guatemala and I’m worried about my D7000 being a target for us to be robbed. I’d hate to go to a beautiful country like Guatemala and shoot all my pictures with a Sony pocket camera. I have decided, for several reasons, that I will be leaving my 80-200 at home. Putting that on my camera would be like taking out an advertisement that I’m carrying something worth stealing. It is also heavy and I’m concerned about the amount of in and out travel we will be doing. Our goal was to travel as light as possible. So give me your opinions… do I take the D7000? I have changed my mind on this topic 20 times in the past two weeks. I’m sure I’ll regret it if I leave it behind, but I will regret it more if I’m robbed while in Guatemala. [/QUOTE]
